15 mistakes WWE has made already in 2018
- Thread starter Kidd Dibiase
- Start date
Hold on... how the "Sami Interviewing Bobby Lashley's Sisters" segment, Coach back on commentary, painting Balor in rainbow colors, and Big Cass in general are not part of the mistakes made in 2018?
Nah..Bryan vs Jeff Hardy is a ppv match..and definitly rhe coming Joe match is bigger than Brock Lesnar, the universal title, and Reigns entire push.Thanks for posting op
Most of this is
4. Braun is in a good spot, he’s over and not everyone can be the star of the show with Roman and Brock being forced. He’s gotta settle for being a very bright spot.
6 revival got injured when featured Frail=fail in this company
7. No one wants to see a raw single brand ppv with their roster and SmackDown booking can’t sustain one either
8 what talent has slipped away?
10. Tag division is as close as its been to thriving since USO’s were fighting the swinging cats. Bar, Usos, new day...when’s the last time they’ve had three over good on the mic and inring tag teams at the same time?
11. Rusev one of the most over dudes and he’s that way because they’ve put him in a position to flourish with letting him and English ride the Rusev day wave. In reality, they should’ve nipped that in the bud since it infringes on another act. You don’t see new day with hustle loyalty booty towels
12. Only Daniel Bryan dream match given away so far is AJ. In the wwe top guys go head to head all the time, we used to just appreciate it. there’s too much tv to fill with lazy writers for these dudes not to cross paths.
14. Finn Balir just main evented Raw and looked good against Strowman. You can argue they’re ruining his character but he’s still being utilized. See my brain point.

Asuka is the biggest mistake though.
Braun dominated Lesnar on tv and then got murdered by one f 5. Lol. He destroyed everyone at EC..two spears? Checkmate. Yeah...he's definitly bein marginalized..ESPECIALLY if anyone watched WM 34.Lotta these are just random bytching.
DB dream matches... the AJ match? Didn't even have a decisive ending and they can always come back to it. The Hardy match wasnt really a dream match, but I guess you can say they 'gave it away'. Other than that, there's lots more shyt he can do. Matter fact most people are complaining cause they want him to have nothing but dream matches every single week.
Braun is clearly being built up as a future top guy, if 'wasting' means he goes over everyone convincingly, beat the tag champions singlehandedly, and wins a 50-man Royal Rumble, OK I guess.
Letting talent slip away... who dat?
Tag division ain't perfect, but this person must not have been watching in 2011 when the field of teams was so dry, David Otunga and "Mike Mcgillicutty" had the belts for damn near 6 months and had no one to defend them against. shyt, Raw has like 7 gotdamn teams alone- there was a time there wasn't 7 teams on the roster. To me, at least it signifies that tag teams have been emphaiszed much more in recent years more theyve been probably since the first-ever brand split happened.
Balor probably woulda benefited from a move to SD... but then, if he had a match with DB that woulda been another thing to complain about, so who knows

Only one I agree with is keeping the strap on Lesnar. He doesn't need the belt for legitimacy, plus the prestige of the belt is hurt by him being a part timer.
If I had to add my two cents it would be:
If I had to add my two cents it would be:
- Asuka being bushed post Mania. Was she just her streak? Creative backed themselves into a corner and don't have anything for her. It's more insulting that Carmella holds the strap and furthering the questions around the booking of her Mania match.
- Rousey already getting a title shot. She hasn't "earned" it. We all knew this would happen. Unless the match ends in a DQ, both Nia and Rousey will come out of this match looking bad.
- Why bring up AOP? We haven't seen them since the Raw post Mania. Could have kept them in NXT.
- Throwing the entire tag division under the bus at WrestleMania by having Nicholas and Braun squash The Bar. That was a moment that has Strowman dangerously close to jumping the shark.
- Bringing Bobby Lashley back with no plan. He's not over with the fanbase. This is a more casual crowd than ever.

The Saudi and FOX money has made all this irrelevant. They are in a position were no matter how bad creative gets, it can't hurt them in a significant way so any mistake they've done is trumped by these new $ deals.
And the D-Bry dream matches on free TV is something people shouldn't call a mistake at this point. PPVs are obsolete and it's much more important to give SD novelty matches than save them for a big Sunday show once a month. Most of us still have the idea of "save it for the PPV" but honestly that shyt been dead for years as a concept and nowadays is dead money-wise too.

The Brock thing wouldn't be so bad of dude didn't just flat out disappear for damn near a quarter of a year at a time. I'm actually down with not having the title defended every single month, since all that does is either burn through contenders, or stick the viewer with long strings of rematches.
It seems like the goal was to sortve take it back to the old days when it was a big deal to see the champ, let alone have them defend the belt on any form of TV, but that shyt doesn't work today. The champ doesn't necessarily need to defend it all the time, but they need to be visible, and possibly tied up in non title defense things to make those defenses mean more.
Tag division argument is kind of valid
Last year on SD it was ALL ND/Uso trading the titles back n forth, while not building up any tag teams until right before Mania with the Bludgeon Bros.
Raw was Sheamus/Cesaro bulldozing the entire division while making no other team credible challengers.

There are so many great and solid tag teams in WWE. No need for the tag divisions to be booked so poorly. They should be helping to carry both shows. Tag team wrestling is dope when done right. Smackdown has gone back to keeping their champs off TV for weeks at a time. I haven't watched in a couple weeks but when was the last time the Bludgeon Brothers were on TV?
